Rocky Mount, VA - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The First
NB Ch. # (S)6685
The only Red Seal extant on by far the scarcer of Rocky Mount's two
issuers. Just four examples are reported, with one listed without a
grade and a second grading only Good-Very Good. Fortunately for
collectors, this specimen is quite nice, with a vivid red
overprint, good color, and bold black signatures. Interestingly,
Jno. W. Woods, who signs here as this bank's president, would go on
to become president of the City NB of Roanoke and signs the Red
Seal from there we offer above as president as well. Mr. Woods was
a well known attorney and businessman who served in the Virginia
General Assembly and as a county judge for some twenty years. PMG
